Default No main menue, HELP!!!

I have the following problem:
After watching the intros, i only get a black screen with the (i suppose) main menue music. pressing a mouse button crashes Flite Force. If i restart EF i get an error like "GL_init string is NULL" appears at the EF-console!

What goes wrong here?

My System is:
PIII @ 800 Mhz
384 MB RAM
Voodoo 5500 Graphics-Card (with beta drivers supporting DX9=succesful DXdiag tests)

Thanks, xmms

PS: Don't worry about my english, i am from germany

My first guess would be that EF2 doesnt like your VooDoo5500 card much

SUPPORTED CHIPSETS:
- All ATI® Radeon
- nVidia® TNT2 and TNT2 Ultra
- All nVidia® GeForce™ chipsets
- SIS Xabre 400


No 3dfx cards in the list.

Send an email to Ritual support.

Get rid of the beta drivers and either upgrade or even downgrade to a stable version of drivers for your chipset. Beta drivers are exsperimental.

I posted a message on the Ritualistic forums about this. Someone from Ritual answered that 3dfx cards are not supported.

Default SOLVED!!!

I've got it! EF2 runs on my VooDoo 5!

Here the way i did it:
1. I installed EF2 on Windows 98 and no menue appears
2. I run EF2 on Linux using WINEX (Win & DX emulator from www.transgaming.com) and the meune appears, but you can not use the buttons.
3. I run EF2 on windows again and ... it works just fine!

So I think the EF2 Engine has some problems to initalize the graphics with voodoo chipsets.

I attached my config file cause you might get EF2 working without having to install linux.
